Chapter 172: Who Left Behind

Marlo, formerly known as Malodiel, is a Han Chinese, a bit of mixed race in the previous generation, and his grandmother is a Malay. In order for his son to survive in Borneo, the father gave Marlo a local name.

This person is now the mayor of Sandakan and the highest surviving governor of Borneo.

At this time, he claimed to be the leader of the interim government of Borneo and was reporting on the situation in Borneo at Mahathi, the Malay government.

"Mr. President, the situation in Borneo is currently moving in favour of the Malay side. The resistance forces in the east dealt a powerful blow to the invading army, and the Malay counteroffensive began. ”

Mahathir should have rejoiced to learn of the victory of the Malay army in Borneo on the battlefield. But the current situation does not make the president happy in any way, because the army of Taiguo is advancing in great strides, approaching the Malay capital.

Mahati had a toothache and was very irritable.

His own army was vulnerable, almost all of them collapsed, and they couldn't resist the army of Taiguo at all.

What should Malay do?

This is the biggest headache for President Mahathi Mohamad right now.

Looking at Sandakan Mayor Malodir in front of him, Mahati had an idea, should he let the Borneo army come to the aid of the mainland?

Although the distance is long, it is not easy to come from Borneo, and it is difficult to say that the number is small. However, it is better to come as much as you can than to wait for death.

Thinking of this, Mahati asked Malodier: "Since the Borneo counteroffensive has begun, which means that the Malay side will eventually be victorious, can we send some troops to resist the Taiguo army on our own?" ”

"The Provisional Government on the Borneo side has this intention, and I have arrived with a contingent of more than several hundred people on this trip, and the follow-up army is still on the way.

It's just that Borneo is too far away from the mainland, and we don't have big ships in our hands for sea transportation, so we can only use some small boats to transport them here in batches.

This is still a hired ship from the Han side, and in the past, the resistance army in Borneo used to buy arms from the Han side, and the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant. ”

Malodire's words poured cold water on Mahathi's heart, yes, now that the Pacific Ocean has changed, the distance between the mainland and Borneo is too far, when will a transportation of hundreds of people be able to transport the army over?

"Then hire big ships from Han and transport more troops at a time. The situation in Malay is critical, don't care how much it costs.

This matter must be handled immediately, and I will immediately arrange for someone to transfer the funds to your account.

Do you have any difficulties in this matter? At this time of national crisis, the whole country of Malay must go all out. ”

"Mr. President, I have no more trouble here. Even if there are difficulties, we must find a way to not let even an inch of the motherland's territory fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

"Very good, this time of national crisis is the best way to show patriotism. The army from Borneo is under your command alone, and it is the honor of the country to resist the attack of the Taiguo army, especially to keep the country from falling. ”

"Yes, the president can rest assured that as long as there are people, he will stick to the end, and will never allow the enemy to invade the national capital."

Mahati was pleased with Malodil's performance, and the key was that the man was loyal to his country.

The situation is getting worse and worse, and the Taiguo people are marching too fast and coming in two directions towards Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur was in turmoil, with large numbers of people fleeing their homes and heading south.

According to this situation, it is likely that Kuala Lumpur will soon become an empty city.

The Taiguo army used aerial fighters to cover the ground troops on the western road, chasing the defeated Malay army and bombing indiscriminately.

The remnants of the Malay army are demoralized, and with or without air power to cover them, even if they want to resist, they will not do much.

On the eastern route, Taikook's fleet patrolled along the coastline, and as soon as the Malay ground troops were spotted, the naval guns bombarded them fiercely. The road was even more miserable, and the Malay army was crushed.

A group of high-ranking officials gathered in the Malay Assembly Hall to discuss countermeasures.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, none of these high-ranking officials present were not panicked, and they were all thinking about their own plans.

Mahati asked Army Commander Bataan to explain the current situation, and Bataan cleared his throat, coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Mr. President, everyone, the situation is very critical at the moment.

The Taiguo army marched in two directions, especially the eastern road, which was approaching at a very fast speed, and had already arrived at Busera, which seemed to be suspected of outflanking Kuala Lumpur.

The Western Route Army was a little slower and also crossed Cestbon, and the two-way attack was complete.

However, the main force of our army suffered serious losses and formed a rout, which was difficult to resist the attack of the Taiguo army.

The most critical situation now is the situation on the eastern road, and according to the speed of the Thai army's march, it is only a little more than two days to reach Kuala Lumpur. That is the case, and I will leave it to Mr. President to decide. ”

As soon as the army commander's words were finished, there was a lot of noise below.

"Oh, this is too dangerous, if the Taiguo army surrounds Kuala Lumpur, we will all be finished, I suggest, withdraw from Kuala Lumpur immediately, and the government will take refuge in Singapore for the time being."

"Yes, we can't delay any longer, it's too late if we don't leave."

"Yes, the government should first take refuge in Singapa and create a crisis situation in Malay, and ask the United Nations to intervene."

“......”

The noise of the conference room made Mahathi's head buzz and his brow furrowed, but he couldn't think of anything else.

Hiding in Singapore and then turning to the United Nations is also an option.

The situation in Malay has reached this point, and I am afraid that the United Nations will have to intervene.

Thinking of this, Mahati reached out and patted the table, allowing the rest to be there for a while.

"Well, the government is on the back foot for a while. However, who will organize the army here to resist the Tai**** land, Kuala Lumpur will have to hold on for a while, right?

As the capital of a country, you can't just say that you will lose it, because that will have a very bad impact on the world. ”

Mahathir relented, and the hearts of the government officials relaxed.

As for who Kuala Lumpur needs to keep, this responsibility should of course be borne by Army Commander Bataan. Everyone's eyes looked at Bataan, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Bataan was dumbfounded, it was too dangerous to stay here.

This guy saw that the situation was not good, and before Mahati could express his position, he hurriedly gagged him: "Now that there is no army in Malay, even if I stay, it will not help, it is better to withdraw to the south first and organize an army to resist there." ”

The army commander was reluctant to stay, Mahati was a little embarrassed, and Kuala Lumpur always had to be defended.

But who is to stay?

The most important thing about this matter is Bataan, no one stays, and in the end it is his own business. This guy suddenly remembered Malodir from Borneo, and his army was not gathering on his own land.

"Mr. President, there is a suitable candidate, Malodir of Borneo is organizing the army of Borneo and making him the commander-in-chief of the front line, responsible for the security of Kuala Lumpur."

Mahathir's eye was struck by the proposal, and it was a good idea.
